MGR/Anonymous « Epiphone Les Paul Standard »
Published on 06/04/04 at 15:00I got this guitar for Christmas '03 brand new outta the box for #350! (i have a friend that works at the Guitar Center and he got me a discount 
shhh!) Here it is June '04 and i have never had a prob. w/ her.
i like the set neck and frets (i dont know what size they are?). also the Heritage Cherry Sunburst is beautifully complemented w/ a flamed maple top. i'm not the type of guy who is into the Flyod Rose's or locking nuts....it's too confusing to restring it, thats why i like the simplicity of the tune-o-matic and stop tail.
i dont like how there isnt a body cut away (the feel of strats). at first i thought the "burstbuckers" were the ****, but after i dropped in a Gibson Dirty Fingers in the bridge and Seymour Duncan '59 model in the neck i realized they were aweful. also, the vintage plastic tuners are cheep..i just put on some new Boomers and like 5 minutes later after tuning, i realized D string had already slipped outta tune, so i put some Sperzel Locking tuners on her and BOOM! i havent had to tune for about 2 weeks!!! and for cosmetics, i put on a "Standard" truss rod cover...just to make it look more "authentic Gibson".
very durable. except for the tuners, i havent had any problems at all. i giged with her at my schools Band Banquet (sorta like Battle of the Bands) and we won first place! Call it luck, but i think i was all due to my trusty Epiphone LP!!
a great guitar. a bit overpriced, but i got mine for $350 so i can't complain. great for 20 minute solos
